FRUITS FROM THE PARENT FUERTE 



These are the same fruits which were shown, entire, in the last illustration. The seed 

 is variable in size, and the yellow flesh is unusually rich and pleasant in flavor. This variety 

 is considered by those familiar with it one of the best in .Atlixco, if not better than all other 

 varieties there produced.
